The three-spoke steering wheel is aptly sized and feels nice to operate. There are dedicated thumb contours as well. The lower spoke gets a silver insert on the T and Svariants.There are no integrated control buttons on the steering wheel in any variant.

The hexagonal front grille houses the Datsun logo in the middle and gets a mesh pattern on the inside. On the base-spec Dvariant, this grille gets a silver boundary, while all higher variants get a chrome insert instead.

The top of the line S trim comes with daytime running lights (DRLs) that are located on the lower edge of the bumper.
